An admin is configuring network interfaces for a new ONTAP cluster. The cluster has two nodes, and the admin needs to ensure that management access is available even if one node fails. What should the admin configure?

Assign the same IP address to both nodes' management LIFs.

Create only one cluster management LIF on the first node.

Use node management LIFs only, without a cluster management LIF.

Create a cluster management LIF on each node and configure failover groups.

A cluster has an aggregate that is running out of space. The admin has added new disks to the shelf, but the aggregate is not in a state that allows expansion. What should the admin do first?

Reboot the node to refresh the aggregate state.

Use the 'storage aggregate expand' command with the -force option.

Check the aggregate status and ensure it is online and healthy.

Create a new aggregate and migrate volumes to it.

An admin is cabling a new ONTAP cluster with two nodes and two shelves. The admin has limited switch ports available and wants to minimize the number of ports used for the cluster network while maintaining redundancy. What is the best approach?

Use one switch for cluster and one for data, but connect cluster ports to the data switch.

Use a single switch and connect each node's cluster ports to it.

Use two cluster switches, connecting each node's cluster ports to both switches.

Connect cluster ports directly between nodes without switches.

A company is planning to install a new ONTAP cluster. The admin needs to gather information for the installation. Which of the following is a required piece of information for cluster setup?

The hostname of the DNS server in the data center

Cluster management IP address and subnet mask

The MAC address of each node's management port

The serial number of each disk in the shelves
